I babysit a newly 8 year old boy M-Th 7:30pm-7:30pm. The kid is severly overweight, about 2-3 times bigger than his classmates. His grandpa who is his main guardian is morbidly obese, has sleep apnea (where is spell check when you need it), a thyroid disorder, and possibly diabetes. Even with his health problems he does not seem to care what his grandchild eats and contributes to making it unhealthier by buy dozens of cupcakes, gallons of ice cream, mcdonalds/dominos for dinner 3/4 or more nights a week. I just watched the kid I watch eat a nacho lunchable, a cupcake, chocolate ice cream, a diet pepsi, three corn dogs, and dry cereal. This was all after he had dinner and all within 2 hours. What do I do?


Answer
Yikes. Take him for walks , ride bikes anything, as much as you can. Don't let him eat any if that junk when he is with you.
Teach him to read the serving sizes to get him to cut down on his own. Insist he eats at the table only so he does not snack by the tv etc.
Read children books to him about eating healthy.
Maybe he is bored and eats to pass the time. Can you help him find a hobby such as legos, drawing so his hand are busy.

What are the top brand names for kids shoes that are in style this school year?

I live in PA and my 8 year old son lives with his Father in VA and it's getting time for school to start and I always try to get him the brand names that are in style and as for shoes I wanted to know what brand shoes are in style for this school year.


Answer
It depends. What kind of stuff is your son into? My boys like to skateboard and ride bikes and stuff, so they always get DC's Etnies, DVS, Adio, Circa, Globe, Lakai, Osiris...shoes like that.

For more sporty or kind of Hip Hop, go for K-Swiss, Adidas, Nike, Reebok, Puma.

Shoes that never go out of style, Converse and Vans.

(By the way, you can get all of those name brand or popular shoes in sizes that small. My kids were wearing skate shoes before they could walk)

Good luck!
